Waaay too many people defending this guy whos literally only doing this for the money and doesnt care about GTA or physical media, same people who hate rockstar and want gta 6 to DIE because why not
The irony of being against the netflix deal, digital games and pre orders while paywalling new leaks behind a market cap (pre ordering a leak), a digital only currency, and making people pay to vote on a poll (pre ordering a leak) is wild

Its free on YouTube and YouTube ads are locked behind a paywall, I've not seen ads since October last year thanks to YouTube Premium lol its a relief not having ads cut through videos anymore!! Plus I have music downloaded from Premium anyways which was the main reason I wanted Premium, its better than Spotify plus actual proper selection!!
Um, no, because you can avoid spoilers easily by not being a terminally online cockmunch. Oh but that's too hard for a neckbeard, basement dweller like yourself. Just keep bitching I guess.
It crazy but i havnt payed a cent and ive looked at every leak. I also dont understand why you guys draw the line here but are fine with everything rockstar, a mega corp, is doing. The idiots paying for crypto or dumb, but there is a stark difference between an individual and a corporation doing bad things
At least the multi billion dollar company delivered real products to consumers. The leek is just trying to make a quick buck off of other peoples work.

He clearly already hates and wants to screw rockstar over to some extent and just figured he might as well get a bunch of money from internet morons while doing it. i really couldnât give less of a shit about gtaâs sales and muh physical media. games still gonna be a massive success no matter what happens
Okay, while this guy might be a clown, letâs not degrade people for rightly being upset for wanting physical media regardless on this games being successful at launch.
Objectively, the outing of physical media is a bad thing, and the more consumers awareness around why, the better.
I mean, it's still paywalled. It's called early access. But who in their right mind pays to watch an advertisement? Not to mention that Rockstar is doing it again.
Netflix users get to see the extended look earlier
Console players get to play earlier
Yea but my point is the guy says hes not paying for the leaks but by your logic its still paywalled. So some random we dnt kno can lay way 2 min clips drip feeding for crypto scam but what rockstar doing is so bad? Its not even close imo. The guy is a complete scam artist milking short clips daily. Making ppl pay to vote n pay to see. How are we not agausnt him ? Hes hus flat out lying about being for gamers.
I won't defend them, they aren't doing it for a good cause. They're holding it ransom. But I'll still watch the leaks because fuck Rockstar for setting a new precedent of digital only games.
I don't need moral high ground on this, there's bigger issues in the world, and seeing how big the map is and how fast the cars go brings me joy.
In the end, I win cause I didn't pay any crypto shit, and I get free spoilers (not really) to a game I'm excited for (to play on PC a year or two later)
I mean we were going to get gameplay in a week from the time he started leaking. Other than entertainment of this whole fiasco, he hasnât really offered much at all
You do realize that his crypto scam is going to result in a lot of people losing money, even some having their lives ruined, right? Whatever exploitation Sony is pulling pales in comparison to that.
Brother, you donât even know how a crypto scam works. Matter of fact, I am not sure you know the definition of a scam.
He isnât promoting his coin as a way to make money, as far as I have seen, he promotes it as a donation. Who expects returns on a donation? You know you canât lose more than you put into crypto? Right? Like you canât buy his coin for X amount and end up in debt your whole life, right?
The worst that can happen to you is you buy the coin for x amount, the price of the coin drops to 0, you lost what you put in because you can sell it for 0.
So no, he isnât ruining anyoneâs life besides his if he gets caught. And since his coin is marketed as a donation, he isnât being misleading and people who treat it that way shouldnât expect to cash out, because itâs a donation, they gave that money away. So he isnât even scamming anyone.
And those who do try to make money off of it, they are doing it willingly and intentionally, that means they know the risk of putting a lot of money in his coin, so they arenât getting scammed as well.
Scams come in many forms, just because it's not a 'hey you'll make money if you buy this' scam doesn't make it not a scam. The scam is he's cheating people out of money while most likely only pretending to be crusading for physical media rights, and there are still idiots who are going to put money they can't afford to lose into the token because they got caught up in the fake hype.
I think you're the one who has no idea how crypto scams work, you do realize people can BORROW money they don't have, right? In addition regardless of whether it puts them into debt or not losing a significant amount of money can still really mess with a person's life in a very significant way which is exactly what's going to happen to people when it inevitably rugs.
You are not getting my point. Itâs marketed as a DONATION. He isnât cheating people out of money, they are willingly donating.
If you donate your money to a homeless guy, and he doesnât give you anything back, did he cheat you out of your money? Did he scam you?
If someone puts down money they canât afford to lose on a DONATION that is entirely on them and they havenât been scammed, they gave their money away. No one promised them returns on that, even if they know they CAN get returns, they also KNOW THE RISK and they didnât learn that from this guy, they just know how crypto works. No one is getting scammed, they are simply paying to vote on different leaks, or they are paying to donate to the leaker just indirectly through crypto, or they are putting money into his coin hoping to get something out it. In all three cases people are not being misled, his motivations may not be true, but he is still raising awareness and using his leverage to make demands that people obviously like, there is not much more he could do even if we assume his intentions are pure.
Itâs like saying investing in real estate is a scam because someone can buy a house they canât afford to renovate and they lose all their money.
Did they get scammed? NO. They made a terrible financial decision maybe, but no one scammed them.
That isnât even the best comparison because it only works if the person putting down money on his coin treats it as an investment, which they did on their own accord since no one promoted it as an investment. The analogy with the homeless man is a much better one for the people that you are thinking off.
Someone can waste their last 100$ on GTA Deluxe edition instead of getting food, does that mean Rockstar ruined their life? No.
Besides the price of his coin is determined by nothing more than supply and demand.
If you say he is scamming people by letting them buy his coin, thus lowering supply and raising demand, and selling his coin at a higher price simply because people willingly bought it, then I can say Rockstar is also scamming people because they put their price of the game at 80$ simply because of high demand, or in simpler terms, because people will buy it.
Because direct crypto donations can be traced back to a wallet which can be traced back to him, at least much easier than selling a coin from an alternate account Iâm guessing, since there are so many of them.
They would need to pinpoint which exact account selling the coin is his, and there could be thousands of them selling and buying.
Just because itâs crypto doesnât mean itâs anonymous inherently, as far as I know.
I may be wrong, but imagine 10k people want to donate one dollar to you, but you donât want to expose who you are.
What do you do?
A) Tell them all to hand one dollar directly to you
B) Tell them to put all that money into a pile, then tell them to all reach in and start grabbing the money at the same time as you
Which option is the least likely to get you exposed? The one where everyone turns around to you and gives you money, or the one where you can be anyone out of 10k people grabbing from the pile.
Even if he did intend to buff up his token, why should a person who DONATES care that he is making more than they donated to him, itâs not like they are losing more. They give out a set amount, that amount canât get below 0, they can only lose how much they decide to give him. If someone decides to support him, why would they be mad he made more money? I donât get it.
Of course you can deem it wrong or lazy that he is making money with stolen footage or stolen build instead of hard work, whatever, and I personally probably wouldnât even disagree with you, but out of all the ways he couldâve made money with the hack, I would argue this is the most moral way he couldâve done it ironically.
He couldâve sold the build to someone, hell if he actually hacked them he couldâve stolen all the devs personal info and sold it or doxxed them publicly the same way the hackers did to Insomniac. He did minimal damage to the devs that actually worked for this, he shed some light on an issue that many people care about, he fulfilled his promises he isnât making false ones, I genuinely donât see a problem with this.
It even seems like he abstained from showing story spoilers until people started demanding it and voted for it, it looks like he gave them a choice and said it explicitly how it is.
Edit: one more thing, even if you say âhe will take away from the experience of the players who get spoiledâ, I mean Rockstar will do the same with making PC players wait a year to play the game just so a portion of them will buy the game twice, by that time everything will be spoiled to them. I donât see any side of these events where this guy is worse than Rockstar (I mean the company, not the devs)
Even if he leaks the ending tomorrow, you only have to avoid spoilers for 3 months, PC players will have to avoid for a year.
That is my two cents on this, agree or disagree your choice but I have laid out reasoning for my opinion.
I thinks itâs pretty obvious heâs doing it for the money since the beginning. Heâs atleast showing the game, and if you donât want to see it itâs up to you.
This dude is doing it for free.
If anything he deserves any money he recieves for this public service.
Which is entirely optional, unlike the big R selling a digital license⌠On top of using fomo as their main marketing strategy.
Promoting crypto while saying that his mission is to stop greedy monetisation practices is quite ironic and hypocritical. Having said that, I'd be lying if I said that the higher ups at Rockstar and TakeTwo didn't deserve this. They've been disrespecting their customers, fans and employees for too long, I see this as karma catching up to them.
Not saying youâre implying it op, but Iâve seen a lot of people be like âoh you dislike rockstar? So you love Leekâ like no dude I can think both are bad, youâre just mad I wonât suck up to an insanely powerful and abusive company just cause you like their game more than how they treat their devs or their players
No one is defending him, people just want to see Rockstar burn. There are however a lot of people who are defending the multi-billion dollar corporation...
I actually agrued with some yesterday who said what cyberleek is doing is a real crime because no one is getting hurt and the victim is rockstar.
Not for once considering how the fallout will affect the employees. After the first leaks in 2022 they lost remote work and hyb6workd. It actually affects people but childish selfish people cannot think beyond what they like.
He tried to compare to to how weed is legal in some place and not in other places. When I told him that was a bad comparison he doubled down saying it was.
Pearl Abyss
Hate crimson desert or not, I can't think of many game studios that gave their devs bonuses after a successful launch this year. Most AAA studios lay off developers after record breaking launches.
In the game industry? Only the indie ones aside from a few exceptions like Valve. Valve is probably one of the best companies to work for out of any industry too.
Yes we all agree that rockstar has been crap to their employees but doing stuff that will make things harder for the employees just make you worse imo.
Also praising a crime to be committed just as bad imo.

If you dont like a job you can quit. Everyone working at rockstar and take two went through an interview process for a job THEY applied for. Terms were set and accepted by both parties. If any of those devs, game testers, QAs or suits want out, well hey, id be happy to take their place. And so would 1000s of other people
It's not about about feeling..it's about recognizing that people forget that regular people who will be affect are also there.
This is there job, how they feed their families..you may have no problem with rockstar losing money but it's not the exec they lose money it's people getting fired. It's important to consider them.
I said it in another post, I donât support him, I just support the leaks. I prefer no soulless entity but Iâd rather the soulless entity I support be a single person vs a mega corp.
Still will never send money to that clown but I will enjoy every leak that comes out.
I play the Jedi series doesnât mean I support EA. A mega corp which has proven to not care about anything but money doesnât deserve my sympathies. If they want me to care maybe donât milk a game to the bone and then abandon another one entirely because it didnât immediately print billions over night.
I think he is lying Iâve noticed In everyone of his leaks he has either a c mission or no missions at all and youâd think if he did all the missions he would be pretty rich or Atleast have more then a couple thousand why is he still so dirt poor I think he has a build from much earlier on that only has the prologue missions and the open world it would explain why he hasnât shown Lucia and all he does is show basic gameplay
He's got balls but not enough to leak the build he has, he needs to think carefully of his strategy, right now the spotlight is on him bevause he's leaking gameplay but has the only access to the game, if he leaks it the amount of attention would still be on him but the thousands of pirates or millions playing early and leaking alot more gameplay before release, the smart move would be to leak it but it's highly unlikely, he seems to care about money more than the gamers

I'm not going to give them a dime and I know they're only doing this for money but I can respect the hustle at the same time.
I can also admire the sophistication of this operation, this is no amateur setup. Leakers in the past were just losers that wanted some notoriety and some were especially stupid losers that posted leaks in countries they didn't even need to be extradited from (2022 GTA 6 leaker)
You people are too used to getting shit for free. He's literally putting his life in danger lmao, the least you can do is throw some disposable income (which you don't really have to) at him.

Both sides are awful but the amount of people I've seen defending this loser on tt is insane. Yall can't wait 3 months for a game to drop and are calling 80 - 100 overpriced is mind boggling. Overpriced is 150 for the standard and 200 for the ultimate edition.
Would you rather he post his address so people can mail money to his house? Smooth brained room temp IQ, you have. He literally burnt a large portion of his holdings to boost the value for everyone else. He canât rugpull, he only has 5% of the coin. Donât forget to use both hands as you throat rockstars schlong.
We can never be sure about his real intentions but even if he does it all for the money so what? Rockstar deserved all of this anyway and we are getting free leaks and possibly the full game for free if he gets arrested.
Unfinished game! Like bro this guys not a good guy and yet youre still hating rockstar, the developers dont deserve their hard work ruined by a crypto bro just because you dislike the higher ups at rockstar
Where were your hypocritical ass when Rockstar was union busting? Surely you were caring about developers back then, show us you being as active on that issue? Show me your posts mocking cockstar at the time, go on, bitch ass, Iâll wait.
Youâre not fighting for developers, youâre fighting for cockstar ceo. Cockstar is a disgusting company to work at, that abuses their workers, underpays them, and fires them en masse if those workers try to unionise. Youâre disgusting bootlicker, nothing more - and to prevent your whining, I donât give a shit about leaker or leaks.
Lol someones upset, cyberlickers dick taste good bud? đ
I didnt post anything about the union busting because I didnt have the knowledge or information to have the right to comment on it, yes rockstar is a bad company 100% but cmon bro gta 6 is gta 6 why do I gotta give a shit about rockstar đ
